When it comes to creating interiors that are equal parts luxurious and livable, I am always on the lookout for design houses that create gorgeous, yet durable, products. One vendor I can consistently count on to produce well-made, unique products is Vetrazzo: maker of one-of-a-kind glass countertops and surfaces.

I was thrilled when I received an invitation to the company’s headquarters in Georgia for an inside look at the manufacturing facilities.

Learning about the process by which recycled glass becomes a new product from beginning to end was inspiring!
